Crafty Christmas… DIY Xmas Wreath!

Oh,  How I love the Holidays!!!

My Simple Christmas Wreath

DIY Xmas Wreath:

  Materials:

• Wire Hanger
• Christmas Tree Clippings (when purchasing your tree- if at a tree farm- ask if they have any extra tree clippings)
• Fishing wire or jewelry wire (I suggest jewelry Wire- the thicker the better)
• Pliers
• Wreath Door Hanger
• Big Red Bow (Optional)

Bend your wire hanger into a circle (Do not bend the top of the hanger). No need to make a perfect circle- As seen below:

Use your pliers to coil pieces of jewlry wire & tree clippings to the hanger.

I start by coiling tree clippings around the entire hanger (keep the hook clear). Just use your judgement and keep coiling the clippings on. Eventually you can start tucking into one another to complete the wreath and “bulk” it up.

Here is a closer look of my final “masterpiece”:

I chose a simple red bow, however, be creative and dress it up! Maybe some red & green ornaments, or even glitter!

I  kept my wreath a little “messy” with the trimmings sticking out, just my preference. If you prefer to have a wreath more circular and “clean”, tuck in the pieces sticking out and trim the outer trimmings down. However, you may need to add more tree trimmings.

Happy Holidays!
